Oral cancer is among the 10th most common cancers worldwide. There has been a 32% increase of incidence over the last 10 years and its incidence is on the rise. There are approximately 8300 new cases per year in UK. This cancer has still high mortality and high morbidity. Generally speaking the earlier the cancer is diagnosed the better are the prognosis and survival rate.

Public awareness of oral cancer is low; patients often delay to seek professional advice. We should minimise time from onset of signs or symptoms to diagnosis. Primary prevention starts educating our patients with key messages. Secondary prevention is practiced every time we inspect oral cavities.

Oral health care professional including dentists, hygienists and therapists should be trained to recognised suspicious lesions and refer patients when appropriate.

This session is designed to give a detailed discussion of traditional and emerging risk factors associated with oral cancer. The importance and how to perform an effective oral soft tissue examination will be showed with a video.

Objectives

Participants after this session should be able understand the importance of "why" an early detection of oral cancer is important, "what" we should look for during a routine oral soft tissue examination and "how" to be confident and timely in managing these cases.

Participants will be aware of what are the signs and symptoms a patient with an early or late cancer might present with.

Starting from patient history followed by soft tissue examination the delegates will be able to recognise patient at high risk and act accordingly.

The whole team in a dental practice plays and important role in identifying patients presenting with early signs and everyone should be informed about risk factors and key messages.

The urgent (2 weeks) referral system will be explained and the journey of a patient with oral cancer will be showed.

The session will look at the changing population of the UK and the medical and social changes these patients may present us with as they keep their teeth into old age. We will also look at how we can manage these patients and their ever-changing dental needs and how we may have to adapt products, and our surgeries to accommodate them.

It will discuss how to get your patients to clean effectively and for them to WANT to brush and clean interdentally on a regular basis. Participants will have the tools to be able to explain to a patient the progression of periodontal disease and how it may manifest in the future.

We will also look at treatment planning in order to be able to treat periodontal disease in general practice, both in an NHS environment and in the private sector.

The Treatment Planning section will follow up-to-date BSP guidelines on how to treat periodontal disease.

Objectives

Identify with different aspects of the UK population and their changing medical and dental needs.

Explain to a patient what is happening in their mouth in simple terms.

Be able to treatment plan any periodontal care according to best practice here in the UK.

Adapt their everyday practice surroundings to be able to accommodate these patients in a general practice situation for as long as possible.

Imaging in dentistry has evolved dramatically in recent years. This has been dominated by the introduction, then the exponential rise in the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

CBCT is based on relatively simple technology, which complements conventional radiography and replaces Multi-Slice Medical Computed Tomography. It allows the dental team to access ‘on-site’ efficient and powerful technology for the diagnosis, planning and management of patients undergoing treatment.

The session aims to address current and essential issues in the use of CBCT in general practice. This will encourage the appropriate use of CBCT practice and ultimately contributes to and enhances radiation protection principles.

Objectives

This session will provide an understanding of:

The clinical applications of the CBCT in dentistry

The factors that optimise radiation dose and image quality

The various software packages

The legal aspects of prescribing, performing and reporting CBCT scans

The current guidelines in relation to the training requirements for anyone using CBCT

The aim of this presentation is to familiarise delegates with certain aspects of the most up to date technique in providing modern dental anaesthesia - ‘The Comfortable Dental Injection Technique’ (CDIT).

Objectives

How the current theory of pain can be used to the dentist’s and patient’s advantage, ‘closing the gate’ to pain by stimulate the faster signal of touch, vibration or pressure sensation• The influence of language on the effectiveness of injection techniques

Why even words carefully chosen by dental team members to reassure can be misinterpreted by the patient’s subconscious mind to make then feel uncomfortable and / or anxious and how to overcome that

How to implement The Comfortable Dental Injection Technique into everyday practice in 8 easy steps.
